[Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed]

America, it seems, is determined that the ensuing campaign shall be indeed a desperate one! - The President is to head the Army of the North; the Ex-President that of the North-West; and the Secretary at War, that of the Centre. - Seriously, however, there is something so magnanimous about this arrangement, that we almost feel inclined to wish them success! Something, in fact, so very illustrious, that though Canada may not be conquered, this experienced Trio of Presidential and Secretarial Generalissimoes, will still deserve well of the Assassins of Baltimore!

London, March 20. – It is known that two Gentlemen lately arrived from Holland on a particular mission to the Russian Minister at the British Court; and another gentlemen [sic] arrived yesterday for the purpose of inviting the Prince of Orange to Holland, where the people were desirous of joining his Standard; and, it is further said, that dispatches were immediately forwarded to his Serene Highness, in Spain.

March 13. - His Excellency the Intendant-General of this Island, Don Alexander Ramirez, has arrived here. - The Regency of Spain has vested in him the most extensive power to promote the interest of the inhabitants of Porto-Rico, by encouraging, by wise regulations, the commerce and culture for which by nature this Island is so admirably situated and adapted. - His Excellency has therefore resolved and issued under this date a Proclamation, declaring.
1. That all ports and harbours of this Island are open and free for every kind of trade, without any limitation.
2. That every vessel and cargo may be entered and cleared at the said ports without a license from the capital, as formerly was required.
3.

8. That the exportation of gold and silver coin shall be likewise permitted; - foreigners paying 3 per cent. on gold and 10 per cent on silver coin, according to a Decree of the Spanish Cortes.
9. that the importation of gold and silver shall be free from all duties both in Spanish and foreign bottoms.
10. That all kind of cattle may be exported to any port.

12. That all channels for industry and trade are open and lawful, both on the coasts and the interior of the Island.
